This is the year of the hats for Christmas.. This one is a double hat knit all in one piece then folded together. Pattern is Chris that I downloaded awhile ago. I used a provisional cast on and started from the bottom and worked up to the top as that was much easier then starting with 8 stitches and DPNs. Once one part was completed simply went back to the provisional cast on and knit a second one the same way. I have one more on the needles in all black for my other son in law.

Fine example (the hat) of a great technique (above).

Well isn't that a smart modification you described! Using the provisional cast on to join both sides together! Thanks for sharing that tip with us! The hat looks marvelous, so masculine, so streamlined, so warm! He'll love it. The perfect man hat!
